Backpacking with dive gear

[DK_Scuba]

Have someone at home mail you a box of your kit. Ask the hostels if they will accept a box and have it sent there - do you dives -- mail it home in the same box. Rinse and repeat.


Its a risk, but carting around a cold water setup for six months seems like a version of hell that Dante hasnt thought of yet.

Yeah it really does sound like a cruel punishment lol. Looked into prices and looks like it'll be roughly $800 USD for each of our kits. Something to consider in the budget I suppose! Thanks

Don´t ship it to a South American country, there will be import taxes on it. Try to get in touch with Dive Shops in Argentina and Chile and may be you could rent dry suits of them for the trip

Great idea! This would be ideal as carrying the rest of our kit sounds doable until adding in the drysuit gear.
